Missionary Moments #12--Part 2

Today we attended Stake Conference.  What a great meeting.  One of the speakers was a young father.  He told us he came from extremely humble beginnings in Brazil.  His mother died when he was one year old and from that point on his father could no longer function and wasn't able to work.  They lived in the slums of Brazil.  He said as a young boy he noticed some things about several men who helped their family.  They were members of the LDS Church, they had all served missions, and they had gone to America and got MBAs. He decided he would do everything he could to be just like them.  He joined the church when he was 14 and from that time on he made a goal to some day earn his MBA in America.  He served his mission, got a degree in Brazil and now he is attending Dartmouth to earn his MBA.  Brazil will be so blessed when he gets back!  He bore his testimony that good examples and the gospel changed his life and we were able to see that it had. Anyway, today was another great day.  We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We will be thinking of each of you.
